The filmmaking workshop will show you how to accomplish your own productions, whether you want to make a short film, a skate boarding/sport video, or even a music video for your band. With technological advances in digital camcorders, it has never been easier or more accessible for anyone to make their own mini master piece film.
The workshop leaders
Our main tutor Jason Impey studied media at Bedford College and left with a GNVQ, A/S, and BTEC National Diploma in media. He set up his own small production business in Milton Keynes and freelances in writing, producing, directing, filming and editing - practically he works in all areas of film and video production. He has worked all over the UK and Europe for various organisations, including film, TV, corporate, and live event work. He has made many short films, which have had various screenings around the UK at various festivals, and some have been broadcast on Sky satellite channels. He has made an award winning short, picking up best film at a festival, and has made two distributed feature films.
This Workshop
The workshops can take place on one day aimed at students needing an introduction to filmmaking. Alternatively on six-week courses you can plan and make your own film which gives you more hands on experience in camera operating and editing.

You will get technical support on the practical work and will leave with a professionally finished DVD or video of your work.
